Gracious King Enthroned Above

Author: John W. Wayland Hymnal: NCH1929 #217 (1929) Meter: 7.5.7.5.7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1. Gracious King enthroned above, I would come to Thee; Longing for Thy smile of love, Lord, I come to Thee. Help of all our helpless race, All our hope is in Thy grace; Show to me Thy smiling face-- Lord, I come to Thee. 2. In the merit of Thy Son, Lord, I come to Thee; Christ for me hast favor won-- Lord, I come to Thee. Let me now be reconciled, Though a wand'rer from the wild; O receive me as a child-- Lord, I come to Thee. 3. With the Spirit for my guide, Lord, I come to Thee; All myself in Thee to hide, Lord, I come to Thee. Cares unbidden fill my breast; Sorrow has my soul oppressed; Give a fainting pilgrim rest- Lord, I come to Thee. 4. Wash me in the cleansing flood-- Lord, I come to Thee; Make me white in Jesus' blood-- Lord, I come to Thee. Lord of love, bid sorrow cease; Source of joy, my joy increase; Father, fill my soul with peace, For I come to Thee.

I Bow My Forehead to the Dust

Author: J. G. Whittier Hymnal: NCH1929 #218 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No off'ring of my own I have, Nor works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2. I dimly guess, from blessings known, Of greater out of sight; And, with the chastened Psalmist, own His judgments too are right. And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruised reed He will not break, But strengthen and sustain. 3. I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: AMESBURY

My Sins, My Sins

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: NCH1929 #219 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: My sins, my sins, my Savior! Lyrics: 1. My sins, my sins, my Savior! They take such hold on me, I am not able to look up Save only, Christ, to Thee; In Thee is all forgiveness, In Thee abundant grace, My shadow and my sunshine The brightness of Thy face. 2. My sins, my sins, my Savior! Their guilt I never knew Till, with Thee, in the desert I near Thy passion drew; Till, with Thee, in the garden I heard Thy pleading prayer, And saw the sweat-drops bloody That told Thy sorrow there. 3. Therefore my songs, my Savior, E'en in this time of woe, Shall tell of all Thy goodness To suff'ring man below; Thy goodness and Thy favor, Whose presence from above Rejoice those hearts, my Savior, That live in Thee and love.

I Need Thee, Precious Jesus

Author: F. Whitfield Hymnal: NCH1929 #221 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: I need Thee, precious Jesus Lyrics: 1. I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2. I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3. I need Thee, precious Jesus, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow And seated on Thy throne. There, with Thy blood-bought children, My joy shall ever be, To sing my Jesus' praises, To gaze, O lord, on Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: NCH1929 #222 (1929) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. I was a wand'ring sheep, I did not love the fold, I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled; I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2. The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; He followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild: He found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone, He bound me with the bands of love, He saved the wand'ring one. 3. Jesus my Shepherd is; 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole: 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wand'ring sheep, 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4. I was a wand'ring sheep, I would not be controlled, But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold: I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home!

Christ, beneath Thy cross we blame All our life of sin and shame, Penitent, we breathe Thy Name: We beseech Thee, hear us. 3. Holy Spirit, grieved and tried, Oft forgotten and defied, Now we mourn our stubborn pride: We beseech Thee, hear us. 4. We Thy call have disobeyed, Into paths of sin have strayed, And repentance have delayed: We beseech Thee, hear us. 5. Sick, we come to Thee for cure; Guilty, seek Thy mercy sure; Evil, long to be made pure: We beseech Thee, hear us. 6. By the love that bids Thee spare, By the heav'n Thou dost prepare, By Thy promises to prayer, We beseech Thee, hear us.

My God, Is Any Hour So Sweet

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: NCH1929 #224 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1. My God, is any hour so sweet, From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet, The hour of prayer? 2. Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, And blest the solemn hour of eve, When, on the wings of prayer upborne, The world I leave. 3. Then is my strength by Thee renewed; Then are my sins by Thee forgiv'n; Then dost Thou cheer my solitude With hopes of heav'n. 4. No words can tell what sweet relief There for my ev'ry want I find, What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind. 5. Hushed is each doubt, gone ev'ry fear, My spirit seems in heav'n to stay, And e'en the penitential tear Is wiped away. 6. Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore, No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: EUDORA
